Aidan's Back By Popular Demand

We've had a pretty good week at home after chemo. On Wed. Aidan finally started to feel better so Valentines Day was awesome for all of us. Aidan picked out a watch for Tito and got Mom a big box of chocolates. He also shared his chocolate rose with Mom. Aidan got a new cell phone and his favorite candy for Valentines. He's very excited about the cell phone. Now he can call Momfrom his hospital room when she is at Toys R Us to give specific directions on exactly which legos or bionicles to buy (since he has just about every single one made, it's hard to know which one to get). On Friday, Aidian did very well on his homework. He's pretty much caught up on his homework & we are hoping to get some time in with Mr. Beyer before chemo starts again. Friday also brought Dana, Fred & Lexi to play while Mom & Tito went out to celebrate Valentines Day. He had so much fun, they are an entertaining group. Thank you Dana, Fred & Lexi for some alone time with Tito.
On Saturday afternoon Aidan got platelets and started feeling lousy on Sunday morning. By the early evening, he had a fever of 102. This, of course, calls for check in. So, Aidan is back at Kaiser Permanent (as Aidan calls it) for hopefully only a few days (depends on how he's feeling and/or when his fever is gone). He's on a new antibiotic called Fortaz and of course on Tylenol. The antibiotics are starting to work, he's feeling a little better already. Mom's already had her trip to Toys R Us & Blockbuster. He's building his newest limited edition Bionicle (thank goodness for directions from Aidan) while watching some movies. He also called mom while she was at Vons today to ask for "a whole entire rotisserie chicken". When he was told they were out of them, his next request was pumpkin pie. The third phone call from Vons was to tell him they didn't have that either, he said "fine I'll settle for Oreo's & milk then." Let's hope this appetite continues as we pump up for the next round of chemo.
